Top 100 Pro Tour: Journey into Nyx Block Constructed decks

Here are all the Block constructed decks which earned 18 or more points in the constructed rounds of Pro Tour Journey into Nyx, as found on this page.

I have taken the liberty of supplying deck names where needed, endeavoring to preserve Pro Tour taxonomy whilst also distinguishing deck subtypes in the larger categories.

I fixed a few errors regarding Unravel the Æther. Some decks in the top half of the page have only 58-59 cards and 13-14 sideboard cards listed. The missing cards appear to be Unravel the Æther, presumably left out because of "Æ" character weirdness, so I added those back in. One Esper deck had 61 cards including a single Unravel the Æther, which I cut.

I may or may not run an AI tournament to see which of these decks Forge handles best.

I noticed a 59-card deck in gos's recent postings... So it was because of this?

Presumably, but if this is where the decklists came from then something else may have gone wrong because all those decks have 60 cards listed.

It was Lundizz's Cult of Athreos from Reconstructed. I ordered the decks by number of cards and there's a handful with 50-59 cards, though I don't know what reasons they have.

I did the same thing. My OCD will probably not let me rest until I've discovered the reasons for this.

This deck only had 59 cards in the article.

I believe the reason is that these decks are from Future Future League (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/A ... eature/165) and some of the cards in the deck didn't actually make it into the release. So they just clear the cards and don't replace them with anything, providing <60 card decks.
